HeyJoe

Yup, I finally may be trying out some Linux versions soon to find one to switch to... I have always been whatever about what Microsoft does, and it's always been simple enough to fight back and stop whatever crap I never wanted. This announcement just feels like there's no way it will stop, and it's becoming way more frequent. I hate AI, and im tired of it being shoved in my face or running my services.

I find it funny to see all the stuff they try to add or do and really wonder if they came out with windows 12 in 2 flavors, 1 being a continuation of what it is now, and 2nd being a completely stripped down version that offers nothing but the OS with nothing else in the background running or spying and no apps built in which one would sell more. The funny thing is they would probably charge you way more for the stripped-down version, and it would still probably sell more.

As someone who lives in the region, the ads are intense... the news loves to point out that these polls don't represent the majority, and every other poll still shows Cuomo up. I don't live there, but I still would love to see Mamdani beat that creep. We have given the same people the chance to do something different, and it almost always ends up not going anywhere or they were just bad all around.

The president... also, it was obliterated, not annihilated, but is there really a difference here?

That can be said about most hobbies or interests people can have. Almost all of them have stereotypes people will think of immediately that is not necessarily a good representation of it.

I think about this sometimes in the way that if I wanted to start a new career or do something different and I quickly realize im to old to do most things these days... all regular sports have been long gone. Other jobs requiring physical requirements are either over or near the end. I remember seeing the air traffic controller shortage, and they showed the requirements and I laughed and said we'll I couldn't even attempt this if I wanted to since they don't accept people over 31. Lots of options are just gone at this point, and it's sad and scary.

Next, they will turn this around and say see they were violent.

To this day, Maxtor was the only drive that took a complete dump on me... because of that, I have always had bias towards that brand. This is over 30 years of using computers and as someone who worked tech support for a company of 5 thousand people. This failure happened at my job, and that person was not very happy.

That's exactly why i originally used it, actually. Our group policy is set to go to screen saver and turn off screen after lile 10 min then 20 min. Whenever I played music and stepped away, it would always turn off, so this fixed it. I understood the policy at work in case you stepped away, but I am at home now, so who cares if I leave it unlocked.

Thanks! I heard of that as well, but i am pretty sure that activity is recorded, and if they look at Teams activity, it would definitely be odd to see someone being in a meeting all day. I've been using this app for 2 years now, and it doesn't install on the system. Part of my responsibility is application management, so if anyone's looking over apps, it's me anyway!

After the first hour on Fridays I am using the caffeine app to keep my Teams status from going idle and getting my other life stuff caught up before the weekend.

Nah, I hate breakfast. Give me that extra sleep anyway. It's not like they are very good either.

Dam, where you going that has 12 checkouts? I see mostly 11 with some being 10.
